A Young Lady Living in a Box
A young lady living in a box
One day lost all of her socks.
She had to search high and low,
Which is strange, as I happen to know,
That she lives in a very small box!
The Sphinx
The enigmatic sphinx, winks
As I
Pass by.
And seems to say
Tis a beautiful day
And, of course
A nod is as good as a wink
To a blind horse.
But my good sir,
You should take extreme care,
For you think
I wink,
But the suns glare .
The above poem was prompted by the mention of the Sphinx in this wonderful poem by Gabriela, https://shortprose.blog/2020/05/09/the-violin-of-love-poem-poetry-prose-poem/
Mable Who Was Willing And Able
When a young lady named Mable
Said, I am willing and able,
I said, come here my dear
And meet beautiful, young miss Ria.
Together you can assemble this table!.
Outcall
In a strange bed, she lies.
Her sighs
Real as the cries
On a fairground ride.
She
Can not decide
What to have for tea.
His eyes close
In the moment of release,
A brief surcease
From grief.
And she
Puts on her clothes,
And goes
Home for tea.
One day
She may
Look into a guys eyes
And find
Nothing behind.
My Lover
My lover who is petite and blonde
Has a very deep garden pond.
When she found me with Yvette,
(who is a gorgeous, slim brunnette,
I became acquainted with her pond!
Cleaners Find
Cleaners find
Traces left behind.
Their bachelor boss so staid
With a pretty maid,
They see in their minds eye
As fresh sheets are laid
On the stolid old bed.
When cleaners dust
And discover a girls misplaced jewel
Perchance they may
Ponder on lust
And think their master a fool.
But, being paid to clean
They leave the ring,
Or some such thing
As though unseen,
In the same place.
While their imagination runs wild

On A Sunny Afternoon
On a sunny afternoon
I heard
The bird
Of night,
And thought how soon
The light
Fades, in woodland glades.
And how the owl does prey,
At the closing of our day.
Canes and Slippers
A young lady named Jane
Wields a mean old cane,
Whilst her friend miss Kipper
Prefers the use of a slipper.
And Shane hes sweet on Jane!
Nature’s Glass
Flowers on either side
Of the path.
I
Can not decide
Whether to laugh
Or cry.
Flowers live and die
While I
Smile
And pass
By,
Seeing through natures glass,
You and I.
Crackpot Conspiracy Theories Have Consequences
On Wednesday evening, I received a telephone call from an acquaintence. Having asked how I was, she proceeded to relate how shed watched a video which explained that COVID-19 (the Corona Virus) is a hoax and is, in point of fact caused by radiation generated from mobile telephone masts.
I responded that the persons promulgating such theories are nutters and conspiracy theorists and that such ideas are highly dangerous as they mislead people into believing fraudulent claims and by so doing...
